Nixluva--Im sure when you or I pass along--we'd like our kids/wife to get our belongings without the government taking 40% like they do now?

Also there is no good tax plan where everyone doesn't get a benefit. Where this plan helps is it puts more money in the pockets of those families earning less than 70k. Dont you think that someone making 68k a year with a wife and two children could use an additional 1400$? And then save another 200-400 on tax preparation each year?

Try reading the whole gig

PLEASE!!! This Tax Cut like most every Republican pushed Tax Cut is really ALL ABOUT the Rich and big biz!!! Just cuz you bought their BS doesn't make it true!

I guess you can't you don't have a common understanding of economics or simple math?

Puerto Rico was a dangling disaster of its own mismanagement. The island sled into deep financial despair through mismanagement and their infrastructure was crumbling and dated. They had ten+ days to bring in as much water and food that they could--they ran behind on it. We cant be selective and say the government did a sht job in Puerto Rico--yet say nothing about the great job we did in Florida and Texas? Thats hypocrisy right? Puerto Rico is a nightmare and it was ravaged by a 100 year storm--at the end of the day I think the US has given its all through 3 massive disasters--to try and hold people accountable for Puerto Rico is insane--no one caused the hurricane or the absolute logistical nightmare. The whole country needs to be rebuilt anyway--while there is some short term suffering--it may end up in their best benefit long term.

You really are something else! We have every right to hold this Administration accountable for EVERYTHING they do. You don't get brownie points for some disaster responses done OK and we just ignore the BIGGEST one being mishandled.

They KNEW this Hurricane was coming and where it was likely to hit. They should've been prepared to get as much help in there as possible as soon as possible. Stop making excuses for messing up!!!

Also stop victim shaming PR! Houston has its own issues with poor city planning and they still deserved all the help they got cuz they're CITIZENS just like PR! F is wrong with you 😡

Its a racial issue... Don't you see that this tax plan benefits only white supremacists?
This what I read on one of this fake Russian news sites.
They said this will be even worth that kneeling and monument issues.

I dont mid having conversations and debate--but Nixluva is beyond approach. The US has done a good job with 3 disasters in a row--thats the reality. Puerto Rico is an island that logistically is not the same as the mainland US. I think the U government and its people have tried very very hard against very difficult consecutive circumstance. Its insane sitting back and listening to some of this stuff.

You think I'M Beyond Approach? Bruh I'm firmly grounded in fact and reality. You're slurping up the Trump Administration BS about their efforts in PR! Yes it's a much harder task aiding PR but they had AMPLE warning and time to prepare for a faster and more sufficient response. We have the resources and military to have done a better job responding.

BRIGGS, I am getting tired of your participation at this point. If you like to bring facts and an informed presence, please do. You have not. Consistently.

Fact is, on Monday AM, the storm was category 5 and hitting other areas before Puerto Rico - US Virgin Islands. The fact that it went from 1 to 5 in 12 hours has no bearing on the prep the US could and should have done for our citizens.

Do you know when the storm hit San Juan? Wednesday. The US approved an emergency declaration for the Virgin Islands on Monday, giving FEMA the go-ahead to coordinate disaster relief efforts there. The US knew Puerto Rico was in direct line 48 hours later.

Your BS about going from a 1 to 5 is utterly useless information and has nothing to do with anything. The pure nature of hurricanes is that they show up unexpectedly.

Those are the facts.

C'mon Martin, he regularly spews outright racist crap around here, maybe most offensive of all just a few pages back telling black people on this forum they've never experienced racism and they all have it easy. And what draws your ire is he's misinformed (which he always is) about hurricanes?

That's disappointing.

America is the land of limitless opportunity for all, I've been told. Instead of looking for a handout from the government, people who want an extra $1400 should $72k a year instead of $70k. Or better yet, $100k.

There is nothing stopping them, right?

Again you have absolutely nothing in common for those who need that 1400$--thats one reason I voted the way I did. You could care less about people--and you know it. You're hollow dishonest with no clue.

This forum enables it.

i've read a lot of great posts in this thread (you're in that group) and i've read a lot of bad ones (i won't name names) but honestly, i think this thread is a poor outlet at this point. don't see what good it's doing for anyone, it's pretty much just turned into a fingerprinting of "who's racist and who's not" which was not the intent. just my humble opinion.

You're right at the moment I don't. My parents were on food stamps growing up, but I've been financially secure for over decade now. And despite my background the thing that you and I have in common is neither of us have a clue what it's like to be and grow up Black in America.
